Thanks, Judith. That banner picture was taken at Cato Heights Cemetery in Cato, Wisconsin. My 2nd great grandfather’s property surrounded the cemetery back in the mid to late 1800’s. That’s me and my son standing on a hay bale looking over the land that was once his farm!

My daughter is a French major; she said the marriage certificate was definitely written in French. She tried to take a stab at the translation; however, she had difficulty with the old-style handwriting.

I am also researching Roman/Williams line. Thanks for such an interesting site!
